Petition Extend the NHS Learning Support Fund to fully include pharmacy students
Pharmacy students complete mandatory NHS placements and can face high travel and living costs but are excluded from many aspects of the NHS Learning Support Fund. We ask the Government to extend the NHS Learning Fund to fully include MPharm students to ensure fairness & encourage entry into the NHS.
More details
While pharmacy students now have access to the NHS travel reimbursement fund, we believe this does not address the wider financial struggles they face. The MPharm degree is highly intensive and can leave little time for paid work. Extending the NHS Learning Support Fund could help reduce hardship, support wellbeing, and ensure students can focus on becoming the next generation of NHS pharmacists.
